Were the 18x10.5 +43 265/35's on rolled fenders or stock?
If the +43 was stock I say go with 18x10.5 +30-35 if the +43 was on rolled I say go with 18x10.5 +38-43
Not too much work to make those fit!

With all other things equal, changing from non-staggered to staggered causes understeer on our chassis. If you prefer the way that drives or tune the suspension components otherwise to dial it out then go for it but going staggered in itself will cause understeer coming from non-staggered. If your car balances well as it is with the same size tires in front and rear, what will happen if you keep the tire size (grip) the same in the front yet increase tire size (grip) in the rear?
Would make it "safer" though, the slight understeer, albeit potentially a hair slower...
But yeah, all comes down to preference lol.

Well my car has significantly more oversteer than you guys (try throttling in a corner with 300+ rwhp and we'll talk), so adding some understeer may be a good thing.
I need more rear traction but I don't want some huge front tires so I can still have a turning radius.

tail happy =/= a car havine overseer. You can load buckets of power or clutch kick any rwd car and have the rear come around. I'd consider oversteer a car's tendancy to turn into the corner under hard driving rather than plow out (imagine a downhill run in neutral). But thats just me being picky, lol...

But I hardly think this is the thread to debate handling, LOL, aggressive wheels are more often than not going hurt it.
